Dear Editor:
The Rodda girls have a new pet.
Since the last big snow storm we
have been watching a hen pheasant
come to our back terrace for sun-
flower seeds. It started at the height
of the storm when she couldnt find
any food at all and seemed to real-
ize ‘that we were feeding ‘the little
birds.
She came to our back door and
pecked away at the seeds the little
birds had let fall from the feeders.
Then we decided that she ought to
have more than that and put seeds
out in a pan for her.
By now the girls named her
“Lady” and she was being given the
popcorn that didn't pop and any
other goodies that we novice bird
feeders thought she might enjoy.
Our “Lady” seems to have decided
that we will do as far as people
go—she lets me come out to refill
the seed pan or sweep the. terrace.
She pecks away all around the
fenced-in play yard even if the
youngest is in the playpen screéch-
ing at the ‘‘big birdie.”
It is a ritual at ‘almost any time
of the day for one of the girls to
‘lgo to the- back door and climb on a

THE CIVILWAR
(Events exactly 100 years ago this week that led to the Civil War—
told in the language
and style of today.)
FANTASTIC TEXAS TALE |
Twiggs Apparently Certain
Of Top Job In
South’s Army
SAN ANTONIO, Texas—March 18—A top echelon rank in the Con~
federate army has been assured
for David E. Twiggs, who gave
away the state of Texas a day after he lost the authority to do so.
Twiggs, as a Union general
eommanding the Army’s Texas
forces, surrendered same lock,
stock and barrel to secessionist
leaders Feb. 16—although he had
been officially relieved of duty the
day before.
His discharge from the Union
army ‘‘for treachery to the flag,”
as announced March 1 in Wash-
ington, capped ‘a unique series of
events that has left Rebel forces
in possession of:
—Union troops numbering some
2,300.
—Building, livestock and equip-
ment at 19 Federal posts, includ-
ing the 140-year old Alamo here,
scene of fierce battle with Mexi-
can troops in 1836.
, —Other ‘property with an es-
timated value of $1,200,000.
* * *
INCLUDED in the captured
worth of $20,000. The desert beasts
were maintained by fwoops at
Camp Verde, 65 miles from San
Antonio.
Official records show that
Twiggs, a native of Georgia,
had indicated his Southern
leanings in a letter written
here Jan. 15 and dispatched
at once to Army Commander
Gen. Winfield Scott in Wash-
ington
In this letter, he asked to be
relieved of command.
General Scott authorized this
relief in a letter dated Jan. 28
end received by Twiggs Feb. 15.
(Normal mail time between here
and Washington is 12 to 16 days.)
But on Feb. 16, the day after
getting Scott’s letter, Twiggs de-
livered his command to Rebel
Col. Ben McCulloch in an im-
promptu session here.
HIS ACTION insured the re-
sults of a state-wide election held
Feb. 23 in which citizens voted
34,794 to 11,235 to back the deci-
sion of the recent secessionist
convention to pull Texas out of
the Union.
Twiggs’ capitulation is said
to have brought shoek and dis-
may to another Union Army Y
leader in Texas.
Col. Robert.’ E. Lee «passed
through here a few hours after
Twiggs surrender. Col. Lee was
on his way from Fort Mason to
Army headquarters in Washing-
ton.
A woman witness said Col. Lee
\was distraught upon learning the
Union no longer held Texas. She
quoted the tall Virginian as ask-
ing:
‘Has it come so soon?”
Hear Blair
Quits, Then
Reconsiders
WASHINGTON, D.C.—March 16
—The first major blowup in Pres-
ident Abraham Lincoln’s eabinet
was narrowly averted today, ac-
cording to word in this increas-
ingly jittery capital.
Postmaster General Montgom-
ery Blair was said to have quit °
y in protest over
the administra-
tion’s failure to
act on the Fort
Sumter ques-
tion.
He withdrew
his resignation
only after Pres-
ident Lincoln
promised quick
§! action on Sum-
ter, according
to widespread
BLAIR
reports.
BLAIR’S FATHER, Francis
Preston Blair, met with Lincoln
and told the chief executive of his
son’s intentions, Lincoln is said to
have indicated a willingness to de-
fend Sumter, and the elder Blair
then persuaded his son from quit-
ting.
Montgomery Blair—at 48,
youngest of the cabinet mem-
bers—reportedly was the only
one at yesterday’s secret cabi-
net session to have flatly
urged relief for Sumter.
The resignation would have
been a hard blow for the Lincoln
administration. Both Blairs are
politically powerful and respected
for distinguished careers in pub-
lic service.
Sumter Confab
CHARLESTON, S.C.—March 21
—Gustavus V. Fox, former Navy
officer now a personal representa-
tive of President Abraham Lin-
coln, arrived here today. He met
at once with Maj. Robert Ander-
son, commander of Fort Sumter.

TO CARE IS TO SHARE.
Dear Editor:
I wonder if people in Dallas now
how lucky they are?
When I was looking in “Life” this
week, I noticed an article about the
poor starving children of Africa, who
didn’t ask for the trouble over there,
but have more than their share of
it. The illustrations showed little
boys whose legs couldn’t have been
thicker than a small person’s wrist.
The people there are starving
while we are living in a land flowing
with milk and honey. They have
hardly enough clothes to cover them,
and some of us have so many clothes
we don’t get around to wearing them
all. While people over here go to
the doctor for a slight cold, people
over there die because there are not
enough doctors and medicines to go
around.
I am afraid we take all our lux-
uries toc much for granted. We
forget that we could just as easily
have been born in Africa instead of
the United States, looking now to
this country for help, hoping that
people would care enough.
The government is doing a lot on
this now, but it’s people themselves
who must help if we really want to
succeed.
How about it, people of Dallas,
Shavertown, Trucksville, and every-
where else in the Back Mountain ?
Tt doesn’t cost much to contribute
to CARE. Three cents will buy a
high protein meal for a child. A
dollar will buy enough food for a
family of four, for a whole month.
Think about it. I guess there
isn’t much more I can say, but re- |
member, ‘To care is to Share.”
These are the organizations
which are helping to feed the hungry
children and provide life-saving
medicines for them:
CARE, 660 First Avenue, New
York.
Meals for Millions, 15 West
Seventh Street, Los Angeles, Calif.
UNICEF, United Nations, New

Thank you.

AUTRE
OUR YANKEE HERITAGE. New
England’s Contribution to American
Civilization. By Carleton Beals. 311
pp. New York: David McKay Com-
pany, $4.00.
Mr. Beals has written other books
on New England as well as a score
or more pertaining to Latin America
and other American scenes. In this
one he mentions only casually or
ignores completely the famous
Adams family, Benjamin Franklin,
and others whe made New England
famous, also all the great writers of
New England with the exception of
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Some chapters are comprehen-
sive showing events and the march
of peoples over relatively long
periods, their manner of life, aspira-
tions and accomplishments. Inter-
spersed are detailed chapters regard-
ing one man or group, including
many little known facts, and decid-
edly interesting. Toward the end
of the first chapter, “Here then was
a five-fold process in the settlement
and growth of New England: (1)
adaptation to the American earth
and its resources, and the utilization
of them in a new ‘American’ way—a
process of becoming American not
European; (2) the working out of
necessary techniques and the accu-
mulation of the essential capital
for taming the frontier; (3) the
development of original skills and
new products; (4) the development
of free institutions, without which
the continent could never have been
settled and developed so swiftly;
(5) the carrving of these skills, the
know-how, learning, and institu-
tions, across the land to the West.”
After a long chapter on the
founding of Plymouth, he moves
away from” ‘Massachusetts most of
the time intimating that it was a
good place to get away from due to
arbitrary government. Roger Wil-
liams and Rhode Island, “Cradle of
Liberty” get a long chapter. - Then
Pastor Hooker is accompanied to
Connecticut, where ‘‘The Fundamen-
tal Orders” are considered most im-
portant to later America institutions.
The greater part of the book is
made up of a detailed story of Con-
necticut, the founding of its towns;
its resources, its industry, and its
people, some of whom are followed
family by family, through several
generations. Roger Sherman, shoe-
maker, writer, publisher, statesman,
who served with distinction through
Congress and the other activities
when the nation was founded, rates
a long chapter ending, “The one
man in America who had helped.
shape and who had signed every
great document of war and indepen-
dence, of peace and government,
from the days of the First Continen-
tal Congress.”
Ezra Stiles, = minister, lawyer,
scientist, and president of Yale had
a distinguished and wuseful career,
a real explorer in scientific matters.
He raised silkworms and grew
enough mulberry seed to get a mil-
lion trees growing, starting a native
silk industry. He sent. silk to Ben-
jamin Franklin, then in London, “To
have it made into a ‘striped and
sprigged’ green silk gown. His aca-
demic gown was made from his own
silk.”
Able Buell, first convicted as a
counterfeiter of the Kings money,
later became an inventor and manu-
facturer of many things. He made
the first map of the United States
on a single sheet, a machine to mint
coins, printing type, and a number
of useful gadgets. Eli Whitney, better
known as the inventor of the cotton
gin, ‘was the founder of mass pro-
duction, machine manufacturing in-
terchangeable parts for guns for the
War of 1812, and other industrial
purposes.
Charles Goodyear, who first made
rubber useful, like the two last men-
tioned, had a rough time with others
stealing his inventions and all three
lived lives of hardship and were at
times near or actual bankrupts.
Ingenious inventors, and indus-
trial managers, who made the great
manufacturing industries of Con-
necticut, did not have any easy time
either. It .is related that due to
British restrictions to protect their
own industry, it was difficult to get
tools and skilled workmen. Some-
times the latter had to be smuggled
out, once in some empty casks!
Numerous little items are of interest,
of which a few are given here. Hoop
skirts were made from clock wire.
At one time the colonies made more
iron than all England. New Haven
was the first ‘western cattle town.”
In 1763 it had the longest wharf in
the world. A Connecticut man made
the first right and left shoes, put
into general use about the time of
the Civil War, previously manufac-
tured shoes having been. uniform
and straight.
New England discovered the world
in the person of Capt. Robert Gray,
in an interesting chapter regarding
New England traders and whalers.
In the Queen Charlotte Islands
Gray's ship Columbia hit a rock and
put in at a Spanish port for repairs.
The Spanish commandant gave a
dinner and entertainment. “Fifty-
four persons sat down to dinner,
and the plates, which were solid
sliver, was shifted five times, which
made 270 plates, The dishes, knives,
and forks and indeed everything
else, was of Silver, . . . and always
replaced with spare ones.”
The spread of people throughout
Connecticut, and into Wyoming
Valley, and the west, is an interest-
ing story, “The leading surveyors
were Connecticut men with a map
of New England towns in their
retinas. . . ‘Connecticut villages’ with
central park, schoolhouse, church,
and town hall, appeared along the
Ohio, in Wisconsin, and Minnesota.”
It is not all commendable either.
‘What school book ever related that
the widow and nine-year old son of
King Philip were sold into slavery
in the West Indies?

William Whitehead began his |
musical studies in his native Texas |
at the age of seven. He was only |
interested in jazz and popular music
until the installation of a large
four-manual pipe organ in the
church where he was playing during
his senior year in high school trig-
gered an interest in ‘serious organ
literature. : Si
He was awarded a Presidential
Scholarship to Baylor University.
There he served as University Or-
ganist and toured extensively over
the South and Southwest as ac-
companist for the university's
Chapel Choir. Mr. Whitehead re-
ceived an opportunity to study with
the renowned Mildred Andrews at
the University of Oklohoma and
transferred there during his sopho-
more year. He received his Bachelor
of Music degree from the University
of Oklahoma in 1959.
During an Easter vacation during
his senior year in college, Mr. White-
head had the opportunity to meet
and play for Dr. Alexander McCurdy,
head of the organ department at the

adelphia. McCurdy immediately ar-
ranged for:him to come to Curtis |
Institute on a full Seholarship the
following September.

ters and conventions. This Spring,
